Guidelines for Withdrawal of Anti-Epileptic Drugs in Seizure-Free Patients
Abstract: The ultimate goal of epilepsy treatment is to become seizure free and live a healthy life without the need to take antiepileptic drugs may cause several tricky and sometimes serious side-effects. There is no class I evidence that is based on randomized double-blind trials for withdrawal of antiepileptics in adults who become seizure-free while taking such drugs. Whether or not antiepileptic drugs should be withdrawn after a patient has been …

Advancing EEG Technology for Affordable and Effective Epilepsy Detection
Abstract: For a proper diagnosis and prompt treatment, epilepsy, a neurological condition marked by recurring seizures, needs to be continuously monitored. Manual interpretation is frequently used in traditional approaches for identifying epileptic seizures from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which can be laborious and error-prone. In this research, a novel method for automatically detecting epilepsy from EEG data using deep learning algorithms is presented. According to centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) …

Combination of Nanomaterials and Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Effective Treatment of Epilepsy
Abstract: Around 50 million people across the world are affected due to epilepsy. One of the most common symptoms of epilepsy is seizures which is usually controlled by administering anti-epileptic drugs. But these drugs fail to control seizures for a long period of time as they do not change the underlying physiological conditions of the brain. Therefore, it is very important to alter the biological mechanism that causes seizures. This can …

Elementary Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches for Epilepsy: A Neurodegenerative Impairment
Abstract: The main reason of the epilepsy is both genetic as well as acquired sources. Conventionally developed origins comprise thoughtful brain trauma and difficulties consequential from aforementioned infection. Mostly, the reason of epilepsy is not clear. Seizures may also transpire as a moment of additional health complications, like stroke, head injury, toxic assimilation, or metabolic delinquent. Epilepsy is treacherous when seizure befalls throughout pregnancy. Convinced anti-epileptic medicines upsurge the jeopardy of …

Epidemiology and Diagnosis of Epilepsy
Abstract: Epilepsy is a common neurological disease and has no age, race, social, gender or geographical boundaries. Nearly 5% people in the world may have at least one seizure in their lives. At any point in time, 50 million people have epilepsy, especially in childhood, adolescence and old age. Major problems in epilepsy epidemiology are diagnostic accuracy and case ascertainment. The diagnosis of epilepsy has important physical, psychosocial and economic implications …

Effect of Quercetin against MES and PTZ-Induced Convulsions in Wistar Rats
Abstract: Besides its anti-oxidative effect, quercetin has shown to exert wide range of pharmacological effects. However, there is no experimental study on antiepileptic potential of quercetin. Hence, in the current study, the possible antiepileptic effect of quercetin has been evaluated against maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and PTZ-induced convulsions. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures are induced by applying current (150 mA, 0.2 s) through corneal electrodes using electroconvulsiometer. Absence seizures were induced by a …
